Love Solving Riddles? Cobb Added More Escape Room Sessions

COBB COUNTY, GA — Most parks have the standard swing sets, slides, green space, playgrounds and monkey bars, but one of Cobb County's parks offers something a little different.

The Cobb County Parks and Recreation Department created an escape room experience at the Oregon Park annex, located at 145 Old Hamilton Road in Marietta. The current escape room, The Emporium, opened in late May — and has been so popular that the county added more sessions through Aug. 7, the county announced Monday.

Up to six people can participate in an escape room game, where you're "locked" in the room until you complete the puzzles to escape; however, all entry doors will actually remain unlocked for the duration of the game.

In this team adventure, your cousin is the owner of a local emporium and has gone missing. You step in to take his place while you try to figure out where he is. This particular escape room lasts 60 minutes and requires interaction with liquids and fragile items, such as ceramics and glass.

Each escape room costs $90 total and is completely private. To reserve your spot, visit the Cobb Parks Escape Rooms website.

The next escape room, Prison Break, will run Sept. 10-Oct. 30, county officials said.

A team from Fox 5 Atlanta took a stab at escaping The Emporium last Friday. Take a look at their escape room experience here.
